“In a profile in Variety magazine, writer Gene Maddaus discusses the career of Jose Baez, the lawyer who bumped…Benjamin Brafman, off Harvey Weinstein’s legal team in a dispute over strategy. Baez made headlines in 2011, when he defended Casey Anthony…besides the Anthony verdict, Baez has gained acquittals for Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end, on a murder charge; David Demos, a bond trader who was charged with fraud in Connecticut; and Benjamin Shaw, who was accused of murdering a man in a bar fight in Louisiana.”
